OK, we will need to reproduce the steps that LiVES does on startup.
Can you try the following, open a terminal window, and from the command
line, type:
smogrify report test
then hit enter. Then:
echo $?
hit enter again. Then finally,
ls -l ~/.lives
Please let me know what happens.
Regards,
Gabriel.
